I usually do a top-five player ranking on Monday each week, but that slipped off my radar this week - probably because it's a lot tougher to do after a loss.

More specifically, it's tougher to do after a loss like the one Pitt suffered on Saturday night, where nobody really seemed to have a good game. I mean, really, who was Pitt's best player on Saturday night? Who had the best game? Jake Overman? Malachi Thomas and Tyreek Robinson? That's about it, but I don't know if I'm moving any of them into my top five for the season.

That's the toughest thing with this week's rankings: if you move somebody out of the top five, who do you move in? I imagine there would be disagreement about Eli Holstein still making the cut on my list, but I'm not sure who would go in place of him. So I'll stick with the same top five for now and see what happens on Saturday.

1. Kyle Louis
2. Rasheem Biles
3. Desmond Reid
4. Ben Sauls
5. Eli Holstein

What's your list? Any good candidates to move into the top five? I suppose you could make a case for Kenny Johnson; would you put him in at 5 over Holstein (or higher)?
